Happy Birthday Rio!!

Hello my Crafty Friends!!! So glad you are visiting, I am part of a  very special blog hop today for a very special gal!!  Rio daughter of Simply Betty is being surprised with a Birthday Blog Hop from a bunch of crafty gals that just adore Betty and wanted to help her make this day a very SPECIAL one for Rio!!

If you are just joining the hop then you will want to join us from the start at

Simply Betty 's blog , as I am sure you will not want to miss any of the Fabulous designs this group is sharing!! 

Betty created this FANTASTIC image  for this special hop, and finding Rio loves to read, loves her Zombies and Rainbow colors, I have to say I had a blast creating this special birthday card for her!!

Now you should be coming over from the Fabulous Fabi's blog and if not then you definitely will want to check her card she created for Rio!!

Happy Birthday Rio!!

I began by coloring up this Fab image using a handful of Copic markers, trying to create a rainbow of colors for her dress  socks and shoes. She has a bit of a green glow as I used  Green Bice to the edge of all skin areas. (click on picture if you wish to see the glow). Using some fab design papers from Echo Park "The Apothecary Emporium" collection, felt flowers a fab skeleton brad and black pearls for embellishments!

Happy Birthday Rio, I hope you enjoy your special day as we all adore you and 

wish only the happiest of day for you!!
